Map out your route, estimate calories you will burn

www.gmap-pedometer.com

Recommended by Chris in Kansas

Allows you to trace out your route on google maps, see how far it is and approximately how many calories it would burn. As Chris pointed out in his email to me, this would be great for use in tandem with mapmyride.com.

You can enable a timeline-type view of the changes in elevation you will be going over.

You can save the results to the web, print them, or download them to a GPS unit.

Mod your cell phone

modmymoto.com

www.modmyiphone.com

Recommended by Sebastian

These sites both provide instruction and software to help you personalize your cell phone – whether in its appearance, the ring tones, the software available on it, to the power settings and other aspects of the phone.

Some modding may affect the warranty of the phones, so mod at your own risk, but there are forums to ask questions, step-by-step instructions from people who have done it before, and many levels of modding – beginner on up.

More online TV

Owned by AOL, navigation is slow, but lotsa free content. Currently featured on the site: 'The Song Remains The Same' Led Zeppelin concert footage; Wonder Woman; The Ben Stiller Show; The Smurfs; Thundercats; Batman, The Animated Series; and tons and tons more. They also have 'AOL Music Sessions' with exclusive live performances and interviews from lotsa cool bands – Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, All American Rejects, Daughtry, Good Charlotte, Jay-Z, Eric Clapton - hundreds of others.

Joost – TV on your PC

www.joost.com

Created by the guys who made Kazaa (early follower of Napster) and Skype (awesome free internet phone software). Allows you to view TV when and where you want via the internet.

Still in beta, but this is going to be huge. You can request an account directly from Joost or anybody who is already a member.

Have agreements with CBS, Viacom (who owns MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount pictures, etc.), the NHL and more.

Their approach is actually a Peer-to-peer distribution approach (like Napster and others of its kind) , taking a lot of strain off of centralized servers, but distributing the content legally.

Diet sites

www.diettelevision.com
An attractively designed, very thorough weight-loss site with three main sections:

-Learn It
Diet Finder
Gives you fader bars to select the priority of various aspects of dieting:
How often you want to eat certain types of foods - meat, veggies, dairy, etc.
How important it is to you to lose weight quickly, want to feel better and healthier
How important it is to you to have frequent meals
How often you want to be able to dine out
Affordability

Based on the choices you set, it ranks the top 20 diet types for you over on the side.

Exercise finder
Enter your current weight and weight goal, then what types of exercises sound fun to you.
How long you want your workout to be, how many times a week you think you can work out, and how many calories you want to cut out of your diet per week.
Based on that, it will give you an approximate length of time before you reach your weight goal.
It then gives you examples of some simple exercises based on what you entered

-Lose It
It then gives you tools to track your progress, including weight lost/gained, how much water you drink daily, how much sleep you get, and your mood from day to day.
You can track what meals you have had, and even enter your daily meal from your cell phone.

-Link up
Also has a social networking portion, where you can meet other people, see what works for them, get inspired and inspire other people.
You can use as few or as many of these aspects as you want.

Death by Caffeine!

www.energyfiend.com
All-around caffeine-obsessed site.
Has a sortable list of about 300 caffeinated drinks, the size of the drink and how many milligrams of caffeine in each.
Can tally how much caffeine you have consumed during the day by hitting the plus sign next to the various drinks.
A calculator that will tell you how many of a certain beverage it would take to cause your untimely death.
Also shows sugar in drinks.

Instant messaging without downloading software

www.meebo.com
Instant messaging site that allows you to access yahoo, msn, aim and google talk all at the same time through a website – no need to download software.
This is great for people who travel or use computers that they are unable to install software on.
There is a feature that allows you to embed a meebo chat window into any webpage you create – I think that's perfect for a myspace page or other social networking page (that is restricted to friends only).
